Chapter 2
The next night at work, Dino reminisced on the s*x sessions with Chris, giving himself a boner, so then he thought of Bander. The shift passed in normal fashion. He fielded a number of domestic calls, made car stops, and checked closed businesses. He met Bander at the convenient mart, and they adjourned to the rear of a business complex to savor their treats of coffee and chocolate cupcakes.
At exactly three A.M., the new lieutenant called over the airwaves, “Dispatch, Unit 510. Do a roll call of all units on this channel.”
“Five-ten, copy.”
The dispatcher summoned each unit by call sign. All answered with “Secure” except for 720. The dispatcher called again and again; no answer.
“Dispatch, 510. Start a search. Assign units to grid areas. What’s the car number of unit 720?”
